My understanding is that they are wonderful to have around because they eat pests. They get into our birdcage from time to time and our cats catch them and bring them inside. I pick them up and put them outside. The larger ones can nip, but they have never broken my skin, and neither the cats nor I have ever suffered any reaction from handling them.
